Application filed May 31,

The present invention relates to articles of apparel, and more particularly to garments of the pajamas type, comprising both a body and a trousers garment, and one of the principal objects, of the invention is to provide adjustable securing means for those portions of the garment referred to, as well as to provide a secure fastening means of the character described.

lVith the foregoing general objects in view, the invention will now be described by reference to the accompanying drawing illustrating one form. of construction which we have devised for carrying out the proposed improvement, after which those features deemed to be novel will be particularly set forth and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a front View showing a paj amas trousers provided with closure fastening means embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is a similar View, with one of the abdominal flies opened to, disclose more clearly the character of the fastening means;

Figure 3 is a front View of the pajamas coat or body garment, with the securing means for the breast flies adjacent to the neck or collar portion of the garment;

Figure 4 is a similar view, with the collar turned up and one of the breast flies laid open, to disclose those portions of the fastening means which are hidden in Figure 3; and

Figure 5 illustrates certain details of the securing strap and its enlargement and method of constructing the same.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, this illustrates in Figures 1 and 2 the trousers portion of the garment having one of its abdominal flies 7 provided at the waist line 8 with the strap 9 formed with an enlargement 10 adapted to be secured within a strap loop 12 which is secured to the inner face of the other abdominal fly 14 adjacent v to its waistline, as clearly illustrated in Figure 2. The waistline portion of the abdominal fly 7 is also provided with a pair of spaced strap loops 15 on the exterior face of said fly 7, adapted for receiving one of the straps 16 which are secured to the upper corner of the abdominal fly 14, after which the straps 16 are securely tied, the tying process being indicated in Figure 1. It will be understood that the enlarged terminal 10 of the strap 9 is secured to the loop 12, after 1927. Serial No. 195,210.

which an adjustable fastening may be made by means of the strap 16 within one or the other of the loops 15, thus accommodating the waistline 8 of the garment to the body of the wearer, and providing a smooth lying appearance at the front of this abdominal portion of the trousers.

Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, one of the breast flies 18 has attached to its upper corner a strap 9 formed with the terminal enlargement 10 adapted to be passed through a pair of strap loops 20 provided on the in ner face of the breast fly 21 adjacent to its upper corner, after which the terminal portion 10 of the strap is passed through one or the other of a pair of strap loops 22 provided on the outer face of the breast fly 18 beneath one of the wings of the collar 24. It will be understood that by this construction an adjustable attachement may be effected between the corners ofthe breast flies 18 and 21 by means of the pair of strap loops 22 so that this portion of the garment presents a neat and snug fitting appearance withoutany undue bunching of the goods, the pair of loops 20 serving to hold the upper edge of the fly 21 straight and prevent, ing it from sagging.

Referring to Figure 5, this illustrates details of the strap and its enlarged portion 10, the latter being formed by a strip of cloth folded over at its edges as indicated at 10 and its ends then being folded over as indicated at 10", and these then being refolded over the connecting strap 9, the ends of which are securely sewed between the folds 10 and the piping forming the strap 9. This construction affords a strap terminal 10 of a-suflicient number of plies of the goods 2 to afford a fairly rigid block which will not readily become disengaged from the strap loops 15 or 22 after being passed therethrough as above described.

It will thus be apparent that we have devised a practical and efficient closure securing means of neat, simple and convenient character, and adapted to fulfill the desired objects of the invention, and while we have illustrated what we regard as the preferred mode of the embodiment of our invention, we desire to reserve the right to make all such changes or modifications which may' fairly fall within the scope of the following claim.

Having thus described our invention,

What We claim and desire to secure by Lettaining engagement With said strap termiters Patent is nal and also having a strap adapted to be 10 A garment having a pair of flies adapted secured to one of the loops of said first fly.
